Before the dinner hour we were IN
vited to take look at the table spread
for the old patriarchs. 1t was vision
OF artistic beauty, decorated as il was
with flowers beside the confections.
The warm-hearted and hospitable hos
tess was assisted in her labor of love
by her sister, Mrs. VIM G. Beatie, who
has now assisted liz preparing four din.
ners for the club. This one was a
most elegant repast in all of its ap-
pointments, and its excellence was
enhanced by the polite and skiilful at
tention bestowed upon the guests, not
by hired servants, but by the ladies of
the neighborhood.
The weather was delightful. the
trees beautifully green, the attendance
more like a family reunion than an
ordinary gathering, the club better
represented than usual, SO that in every
way this meeting was one of the most
successful since the organization of the
society, and we know we bnt echo the
sentiment of everyone who was there
when we say to Mrs. Young, not as a
mere formallty, but with all sincerity,
that Saturday, May %, will long con
tinue to be red letter day in our cal
endar.
